Livius Andronicus rendered this poem into Saturninan Verse. One of its characters speaks of a king who blinded Metope and forced her to turn grain into flower so she could regain her sight. Its protagonist is fed wine by Pontonuous and visits a palace guarded by Golden and Silver dogs made by Hephaestus. One character in this work is Elpenor, a man who fell off a roof and died, while its protagonist was compared to a scene from Genesis in which Isaac is nearly sacrificed in Eric Auerbach's Mimesis in a chapter titled after his (*) scar. Leucothea gives the protagonist a veil when he throws his clothes away. Among other things, Laestrygonians cannibalize the protagonist's friends, and he is given moly to combat a witch who turns men into swine. When he returns home, the protagonist is recognized by his dog Argos, who then perishes. For 10 points, name this epic poem that is a sequel to The Iliad. [Ike]
